Harry calls it "fire."
Jim Butcher calls it "fire."
Looks to me like you're "right," technically speaking... but there may be something else going on, given both in-world and WoJ testimony.
Hell, it's magic -- maybe Harry's magic is momentarily making nitrogen flammable???

It just sounds cool to call it fire magic.

Plus the conceptual link to the classical "Elements" of Earth/Air/Fire/Water.

Odin is himself; Kringle is a mantle. So far as we know, there is no "Odin Mantle."
Mab is Mab... but she has the Winter Queen mantle (or it has her). If you kill her, she will come back (courtesy of the Mantle), unless you kill her at a Conjunction (or using a reality-bending weapon like the Eye of Balor); should you succeed in killing Mab (good luck with that, BTW!) the Winter Queen is still coming back, as her Mantle likely just elevated the Winter Lady to Queen (if not, the WQ mantle went to Mother Winter, who is likely to take ... additional steps (but also put the WQ mantle back into play)).
The Kringle Mantle is subject to the Queen of Winter, but Odin is not. Odin, apparently, doesn't particularly get along well with Mab... but he does fine as Kringle. It's complicated.
